dingy Posted January 21, 2011 #2 Posted January 21, 2011 My 2006 FJR 1300 which is fuel injected does not have a Fuel Filter Some fuel injected cars have the filter inside the gas tank, same place as the fuel pump. Gary
SilvrT Posted January 21, 2011 #3 Posted January 21, 2011 Some fuel injected cars have the filter inside the gas tank, same place as the fuel pump. Gary Dumba$$ idea that is coz in many cases you hafta pull the tank and replace the whole pump and filter assembly when all that is wrong is the filter is plugged. That was a $700 bill on my old '94 Dakota!

That was a $700 bill on my old '94 Dakota! Ya, and the fuel gauge sending unit is part of that assembly too. That's why the gas gauge still doesn't work on my '96 Dakota.
SMSgt Posted January 21, 2011 #5 Posted January 21, 2011 Sounds like it's mod time to me. When there is a filter in the tank that is normally just to protect the fuel pump which is also in the tank so both are changed together. There is a filter located someplace along the frame of someplace equally hard to get to. It the case of the motorcycle I'd just put a filter in line someplace prior to the fuel pump if you can. If you can't put one before the pump then the last choice you have to to put it wherever you can. Good luck and enjoy the ride. Kent
Carbon_One Posted January 21, 2011 #6 Posted January 21, 2011 Pertaining to most vehicles today they not only have become more complicated to work on but more expensive to repair as well. It won't get any better either as technology advances. Goodbye shadetree wrench. Do what the guys suggested Charlie. Larry
mbrood Posted January 21, 2011 #7 Posted January 21, 2011 I'm convinced most manufacturers are now only interested in dollar turnover so they are going more and more for "modular" technology... make it as cheap as you can and then seal it up tight so the options are reduced to remove and replace. One of the beauties of older cars and bikes is that most of the items can be taken apart, cleaned and put back together. Those manufacturers wanted their vehicles staying on the road. Roadside maintenance became a standard option. Now with a newer vehicle, it's often a "dead vehicle" that has to be towed away for costly repair. One manufacturer of regulators said they sealed the units because they couldn't have the "liability" if the owner opened it up and didn't repair it "properly". I guess they have some credibility with high schools not carrying auto shop and no technical training for basic maintenace and repair. I grew up with a dad that taught us mechanics as well as having auto, wood, metal shop classes in school. But there's still no reason for a $600 fuel pump/filter/gauge...
SilvrT Posted January 21, 2011 #8 Posted January 21, 2011 Ya, and the fuel gauge sending unit is part of that assembly too. That's why the gas gauge still doesn't work on my '96 Dakota. A little "trick" I learned from a tow truck driver when my Dakota's filter got clogged up and the truck wouldn't start.... take a hammer or block of wood or some kinda object and bang the bottom of the gas tank a few times. It dislodges some of the crap in the filter and at least allows ya to drive for a while. Also on the Dakota, most shops want to replace the whole assembly but it's not necessary if you can find a guy who will take it apart and replace the filter component only. The second time mine went "bad", I found a guy who would do this and it cost me half the normal price and I never had a problem with it after that.
Freebird Posted January 21, 2011 #9 Posted January 21, 2011 OK Charlie, I'm not going to say anything because I don't want to confuse you but here is some information on the FJR fuel filters. http://fjr1300ownersassociation.yuku.com/topic/2198

Yammer Dan Posted January 21, 2011 #11 Posted January 21, 2011 My Saab has one of those 600 buck pumps. They try to make sure you can't repair them. The next time I get in there I will replace it with something.
PBJ Posted January 21, 2011 #12 Posted January 21, 2011 I used to work for GM and those parts are so marked up its ridiculous. We used to make a two barrel fuel injector that sat on top of the engine like a carb. It cost us $125.00 to make total,( even with union labor). But to buy the same unit to replace one on your car Cost $800.00 bucks and That was back in the late eighties!
Rick Haywood Posted January 22, 2011 #13 Posted January 22, 2011 My 2006 FJR 1300 which is fuel injected does not have a Fuel Filter More trickery abounds—there’s a liquid-cooled oil cooler, and the fuel pump is inside the fuel tank, and has a maintenance-free filter and fuel level sending unit built in. Should the bike fall over, a lean-angle shutoff switch will kill the engine (but will not stop it while cornering).
Redneck Posted January 22, 2011 #14 Posted January 22, 2011 Charlie just don't worry about it your going to total it or sell it before the filter stops up.
BradT Posted January 22, 2011 #15 Posted January 22, 2011 Now, How come I couldnt find this, How Embarassing is that Yah, you find everything else. Brad
